peacheslatour March 30, 2017 Share March 30, 2017 Okay so there's a commercial on right now where a little blond haired tyke is carrying stuff outside and the dad asks him if he needs any help. The little boy says no, he's good. Then it flashes to the kid grown and his parents are hugging him goodbye, the dog has grown old and he drives away. Gets me every time. Is there anybody else out there that has a commercial that brings on the tears? 6 Link to comment
Aquarius March 30, 2017 Share March 30, 2017 The one with Duck the dog. It's similar only starts with the kid encouraging puppy Duck, who is having difficulty climbing into the car and ends with the adult encouraging elderly Duck to climb in the car. Now excuse me because someone must be chopping onions somewhere near my desk . . . 12 Link to comment

peacheslatour March 30, 2017 Author Share March 30, 2017 (edited) What is it about dogs? There's another one where a guy (who looks to be a veteran) is walking through a shelter and the woman who is showing him the dogs goes "this guy's been through a lot" and you look into his sweet, sensitive eyes and you think OMG how could anybody hurt or neglect that darling creature. And the the guy takes him home. Makes me sad and happy at the same time. It seems like cats make us laugh and dogs break our hearts. Edited March 31, 2017 by peacheslatour 14 Link to comment
St. Claire March 31, 2017 Share March 31, 2017 There was a car commercial (probably Subaru; they are notorious for the tearjerker dog spots) a few years back with a guy giving his dog its bucket list- giving him a nice leather shoe to chew up, going to the beach, etc. Part of the feeling was just the commercial itself, but the fact that a friend from work really did that when her dog was fighting cancer made it a bigger gut punch. In non-dog-related viewing, any commercial where you see kids or spouses being surprised by returning military personnel make my living room get really dusty. 11 Link to comment

smittykins April 19, 2017 Share April 19, 2017 Anyone remember the one with the male nurse who sings "The Name Game" with his young patient as he's administering her chemo? Some sort of nurses' organization, I think. 17 Link to comment

Some sort of nurses' organization, I think. Yes. 40 some years ago when I was working as a med tech in a hospital lab, I did fingersticks in pediatrics. Those kids tugged my heart strings. If you didn't lie to them and say it wouldn't hurt, but it would be a little prick and they needed to be brave, they did it. I loved the kids. 3 Link to comment
bigskygirl April 26, 2017 Share April 26, 2017 The one for Pet Smart or Petco where they are having an adopt a pet day, and the older gentleman goes home with a dog. He is reading or watching television, and the dog is sitting on his lap. Makes me tear up and reach for the Kleenex. Link to comment

friendperidot May 1, 2017 Share May 1, 2017 (edited) I can't handle that! 30-40 years ago, I was struggling emotionally. The thing that kept me getting up in the morning and putting one foot in front of the other was a Cocker Spaniel named Emily. I always keep dogs now.

peacheslatour May 9, 2017 Author Share May 9, 2017 I hate to admit this about a Mcdonalds commercial, but there's a new one where this kid comes dashing into a McDonalds, envelope in hand and gives it excitedly to what I presume is his manager. The manager calls for everyone to take "two seconds" and they all gather round. The envelope is opened and ta da! The kid has been accepted at what one can only assume is the college of his choice and everybody cheers. *eyes tear up, blink, sniff* 6 Link to comment
janie jones May 11, 2017 Share May 11, 2017 I just like that commercial because the manager is hot. However, I always wonder how long the line is building and how many french fries are burning while they're having their little gathering. 1 Link to comment

Jamoche June 2, 2017 Share June 2, 2017 I guess it's local, the company isn't even on iSpot - it's for Dignity Health, and there's a baby in a crib, just old enough to be standing, crying and trying to climb out. In comes dad who tries a bit to settle the baby, but then climbs awkwardly into the crib, where the baby instantly snuggles up and settles down. 2 Link to comment

kirinan June 5, 2017 Share June 5, 2017 (edited) This one actually makes my husband more misty-eyed (although I admit, it gets me right in the feels, too). It's the AT&T "Stay With Me, Mrs. Parker" commercial about the guy in the auto accident, where the first responders and hospital personnel keep saying, "Stay with me, Mr. Parker" as they get him to the hospital. Then, as he's recovering, he takes his wife's hand as she's falling asleep in the chair next to his bed and says, "Stay with me, Mr. Parker." Yes, you could question why he won't let his poor wife doze when she's clearly been by his side throughout all this, but it reminds both of us of when my husband had quadruple bypass surgery ten years ago, so...

peacheslatour June 12, 2017 Author Share June 12, 2017 There's an ad out now for some flea medication where the animals are crying and looking at their hooman's in such a sad, pleading manner. I get a catch in my throat every time. 4 Link to comment
Rinaldo June 12, 2017 Share June 12, 2017 (edited) As a change from sad tears for animals and such, here's a choking-up-for-happiness one, a minute-long award-winning MacDonalds commercial from 1980. (I have a feeling I've mentioned it before in another thread, but it's been a long time.) I remember watching it with my father, who made a living directing commercials and was always cynical about their methods, and when it was over he said only "Isn't it the craziest thing? They break your heart over their stupid hamburgers." Edited June 12, 2017 by Rinaldo 3 Link to comment
